Stress is a natural and vital phenomenon that we all experience at one time or another. Certain situations are particularly conducive to the manifestation of this phenomenon. So, how do you manage your stress in all circumstances? A simple solution, proposed by Loris Vitry, breathing coach, allows you not to be overwhelmed.

Stress, a natural reaction

Stress is our body's defense system. Everyone is concerned, adults and children alike. It is felt when faced with a dangerous situation, when our resources seem insufficient and limited to respond to a given situation.

It can manifest itself in different ways, and to varying degrees: sweaty palms, stammering, sweating, nausea, vomiting, tremors, rapid heartbeat, reduced patience, easy annoyance, dizziness, insomnia, a chronic hyperventilation …

It is important to know how to manage your stress, because if it becomes too invasive, the symptoms are very intense and can be very annoying, even preventing in daily activities, personal as professional. Naturally, stress then takes on a pathological dimension by transforming into sickness shyness or in nervous breakdown .

Stress is a set of physical and emotional reactions to specific situations, in which there is often a stake. For example, exams, a complicated file at work or overwork are often stressors, as can the unforeseen or change. Physical and emotional shocks and traumas are also sources of great stress.

Better manage your stress

Stress is a useful natural phenomenon, since it is a reaction to real or perceived danger. It is therefore neither possible nor advisable to make it disappear permanently. However, you have to learn to live with it, by managing it better.

As far as possible, it is advisable to try to put things in perspective. Take the time to analyze them as they are, not to anticipate too much what they might be so as not to dramatize unnecessarily, the future being uncertain anyway. It is better to talk about your fears, not to isolate yourself.

Playing a sport can also be a good way to calm your body and mind.

Finally, working on breathing is essential.

Manage stress by breathing better

Breathing has a direct influence on stress, and it is easy to act on this factor from the first symptoms.
The good oxygenation of the body soothes it. However, if the oxygen supply is poorly dosed, too high or too low, the cells no longer play their role as well as possible and this state is conducive to stress.

Breathing must therefore be controlled, especially as stress tends to disrupt it.
